A 150-ton boat lift is hard too find. There isn't one on the Gulf Coast between Tampa and the Corpus Christi area unless you go to Saunders Yacht Works. Their 150-ton lift can hoist a 120 yacht out of the water and set it on land for work ranging from new engines, new interiors, refurbished air conditioners, to a cleaned and painted hull. John Fitzgerald's business began in the 1950s on Royal Street in downtown Mobile.
